Lamps Plus Design Bloggers Conference...

This is happening.....

A few weeks ago a real life friend sent me a 

text encouraging me to check out 

Emily Henderson's blog.  She said there

was a Design Bloggers conference that was

offering a scholarship to attend for newish

design bloggers.  Emily was one of the

'professional' choosing the winners and that

it was a perfect fit for me.

To enter the the contest I simply had to 

submit an email answering some questions 

about my blog, easy-peasy.  

Well, yesterday I got word that I was

selected along with four very talented ladies

to attend the Lamps Plus Design Bloggers

Conference in Los Angeles!

I feel honored to have been selected but

completely freaked out too - I have never

attended a blogging conference and after

reading the bios of the other winners I am

a wee bit intimidated - hello, an Anthropologie

product designer???

But - ultimately, this is life and it's about living!

Blogging has brought me so many opportunities, like

this, and this, and this -

I would have otherwise never had - so this

is yet another.  Most importantly, I remind myself, my two girls

are watching me, every step of this journey.

And I am blessed to be able to show

them how "it's never too late to become

what you were meant to be".

Now.....what am I going to wear???
